Persephone, The Wayshower

A Coaching Program on The Journey From Here to There

"Persephone's gift is her ability to defy prevailing expectations of what she could be or do and instead answer an inner call to an uncharted path." -- Carol Pearson

NEW! Online Visual Journaler Coaching Program

Begins October 17th

Persephone, The Wayshower is a journey of transformation using the Visual Journaler process. All online, video demos, writing and visual prompts, private coaching, and live interactions with Terri. No art experience is needed!

Releasing the Heroine Within

The Greek mother-daughter myth of Demeter and Persephone, sees Persephone abducted to the underworld. She leaves as a child, and returns as a queen.

How did she make the alchemical journey from a playful girl collecting flowers, to a woman with the respect and presence of a Queen?

The myth teaches us that Persephone became choiceful and took responsibility for her situation. She saw a need around her and chose to respond with love and compassion. She chose to be Queen.

Persephone is an archetype of choicefulness. She chooses to makes the cyclical journey from the outer world where she can be with her mother and experience life, to the underworld (a symbol of our other-than-consciousness) where she cares for the deeper psyche.

She is a trailblazer for the modern woman.

Persephone's gift is her ability to defy the prevailing expectations of what a woman could be or do and instead answers the call to a path of her own.

She teaches us to trust life and our ability to handle whatever comes up.

We learn to look to our intuition for guidance, rather than solely on the advice of others. She helps us discern which paths/persons are right for. And, She helps us gauge the right timing.

In this online Visual Journaler program, you are invited to explore your own themes of change and transformation. The program will support you in taking a personal or professional inquiry from here to there, using art materials, journaling, and story.

The Visual Journaler Method

The Visual Journaler(tm) blends visual expression with a coaching approach.

We use visual expression to bring deeper meaning and insight to your own story to life.

The Visual Journaler Process is a layering technique. A process that uncovers essential inner information through creativity.

Sometimes we begin with journaling. Sometimes we begin with a hot creative mess, then do journal writing on top of that. We work in the unknown. Once you learn the tools you can go back and forth, covering over and revealing as you go.

A Message From Terri

Visual Journaling has become a game changer for me personally and as a coach.

Several years ago, I experienced profound grief when my mom died. Part of it was the grief of losing this beloved woman, and part of my grief was rooted in all the things between us that were left unresolved.

Around this time, I had begun taking a visual, creative approach to my business planning. I asked myself the question, "could I take this visual approach and explore my relationship with my mom?"

The answer was YES! I began exploring mixed media techniques, and integrating my coaching approach of holding questions to take the visual process that was emerging, and bring a deeper inquiry.

Did you know that the brain loves questions? So self-inquiry is something that lights up our minds! Self-inquiry combined with visual expression allows us to take a basic, limited understanding of an aspect and expand it in ways that we see our part(s) in our stories in new ways and as part of a larger context.

These early experiences with Visual Journaling had so many openings, but most profound was recognizing the impact of patriarchy in the lineage of women. Since this beginning, I visual journal for fun, to release stress, to explore beliefs, to stretch creativity, to unhook from the inner critic, learn more about cultural roots, to express myself and hear my deeper wisdom. I've also begun exploring the Goddess - a journey which has been deeply revealing and healing.

I invite you to join with me and explore this process. "See" how bringing the creative, visual approach can add new self-awareness, waking-up on the individual and collective levels.

FAQ

What if I haven't touched art materials in years?

No art experience is required! These programs are geared for the beginner and experienced creative alike. We are exploring our inner world rather than creating art products. A supplies list and suggestions for how to set up your space will be in the first module. Through the program modules, exercises, and videos you will be guided you through each step of the process.

How much time will each lesson take?

Each lesson is geared to take about an hour a week. Many participants tell me that once they experience this process they can’t wait to come back to their journal. You can work at your own pace. There’s no need to rush.

What kind of support is available?

This program has 2 Live Zoom Calls + 2 Private Coaching Calls built into it. You can also interact through the discussion feature right within the course platform.

What if I don't want to share my work?

One of the things I’ve come to love about The Visual Journaler™ method is how private your creations are. The choices you make with color, imagery, and words are unique to your own expression. Sometimes I’m covering completely over my writing, and other times just a bit peeks out adding to the visual elements of the spread. Your journals are always your private space. It is up to you to choose when, what, and if you share.

Is this art therapy?

The Visual Journaler™ programs are designed to help you find some artful strategies to know yourself better and play with the many layers of your deeper Self. Like all art, it reveals unknown parts of ourselves to us. Although it can be therapeutic, the program is not therapy and does not replace work you would do with a therapist.

Although it can be therapeutic, it is not therapy or art therapy, and does not replace the work you would do with a therapist.
